Tips To Help You Lose Weight

1. Remember the 25-25-50 rule: Fill your plate with 25% complex carbs (whole grains, beans, or root vegetables like sweet potatoes), 25% lean protein, and 50% vegetables and/or fruit.

2. Don't skip meals. This slows down your metabolism by 20% to 30% and could lead you to overeat later on.  And you can take ABC Acai Berry Soft Gel to help you speed up your metabolism.

3. Eat a good breakfast. Research indicates that people who eat breakfast tend to consume fewer total calories throughout the day. A combo of high-fiber protein and carbs works best to keep you fuller longer (try high-fiber cereal with blueberries and milk, or eggs on an English muffin). 

4. Get enough sleep. Studies have found that sleeping fewer than 8 hours a night is linked to a higher body mass index (BMI); lack of sleep influences hormones that regulate your appetite.

5. Cut back on simple carbs like white bread and sweets, which may cause spikes in blood sugar and lead to water retention and puffiness—not to mention a crash in energy levels.

6. Get picky about beef. Choose loin and ground beef that's at least 93% lean. Limit higher-fat "prime" or "select" cuts. (A 3-oz serving of rib eye, for example, has about 15 g fat, but a 3-oz lean sirloin steak has just 5).
